"Give 'em Ted Turnip's land. We can throw in Jane Fonda, as well."

Yup. Ted is the largest private land owner in the US outside the federal government.

Actually, this might be a good idea.

The government should give 40 acres to African Americans that can prove that they were slaves during the era preceeding the Civil War. ;)

If anything else, it would take away some of the federal lands and the Interior Department's mismanagement of them, would turn African Americans into rabid anti-environmentalist meddlers, and give a boost to property tax revenues since the properties would now start collecting property tax.

Of course, I would like a provision saying these lands can never be sold back to the government. Government was never supposed to own huge swaths of land, its not in the Constitution unless is for 10 square miles in DC, or for magazines, arsenals, docks and other needful buildings.

Nah, they'd want nothing less than the sun. They can work the land at night when it's not so hot.

With inflation, it would be 4,000 acres and a 20-mule team.

The land that we have cleared in Afghanistan is almost ready. Can you be a dear and just wait a sec while we give it one last look-see for Osama?

We'll give Michael Eric Dyson the deed to the whole place and tell everyone to see him about how he's dividing it up.

They could be given the Indians' land; but space is limited, they might need a reservation.

Reparations would harm people who never owned slaves and reward people who never were slaves.

Another boneheaded idea that proves the point, black America is in the warm and cozy pocket of liberal socialism.

I thought their ancestors were already given ten acres and a mule? Isn't that recorded in the history books?

from your link!

August 5, 2002

No answer from Fleischer: Ari Fleischer, Press Secretary for President Bush was asked about the upcoming Millions For Reparations march by a report for WorldNetDaily. He wound up giving a non-response, saying he had answered this question last year.

No one wants to touch this one, but sooner or later someone will have to. If nothing else, August 17th will be a showcase for who's willing to stand up on this issue, on either side.
